Broadcast live to the MAC from Wyndham’s Theatre, London will be Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in Harold Pinter’s “No Man’s Land,” In the play set during a summer’s evening, two aging writers, Hirst and Spooner, meet in a Hampstead pub and continue their drinking into the night at Hirst’s stately house nearby. As the pair become increasingly inebriated, and their stories increasingly unbelievable, the lively conversation soon turns into a revealing power game, further complicated by the return home of two sinister younger men. The broadcast will be followed by a Q & A with the cast and director Sean Mathias. For more information, call (630) 942-4000.
